Amen. I get so sick of trying to figure out what in the F people are trying to say. It's my fault because I don't get what in the hell you are saying. Use Words People. Is it really that difficult?? I just don't get it. Never will. Thank You.
I despise acronyms. I used to write technical procedure manuals and the acronym use in them is what got people killed.
Well, looks like the lower RH corner information in a 1966 PIM had the same block stating Oldsmobile Graphic Illustration replaced with OLDSMOBILE PRODUCT INFORMATIONMANUAL (at least for 1969 and I believe moving forward in model years). I wonder what year they changed that block of information. I suppose I could look that up; yet, I'm not really too concerned about it - although, it's modestly interesting I reckon.
Doubtful I would have been able to sleep tonight without confronting this.
The GM Oldsmobile Product Information Manual (PIM) changed from Oldsmobile Graphic Illustration to OLDSMOBILE PRODUCT INFORMATIONMANUAL in the 1967 model year PIM (lower RH corner of each page).

Correct and the topic is about 67. Thanks for the info.
I thought that the PIM was an unofficial, saved from the line, process sheets collection, and the illustration guide and parts guide were published works.

The PIM/assembly manual was a complete manual. No matter what it's called is just semantics and making a big deal out of it is just wrong.
Has G.M. ever used the acronym PIM for product information manual?
Class is dismissed
I guess that means we have to spell out "Oldsmobile", not "Olds", and Turbohydramatic 400, and High Energy Ignition. and SuperStock II, and Regular Production Option, and...
My point was whether it was published for use outside Oldsmobile or not...
The PIM was published by Olds to instruct production personnel how to build the car, design the assembly line equipment, etc. Why would GM need to put out such a document for outside use? Once the model year was over, they got thrown away. The ones sold today by restoration vendors are copies of surviving documents, which is why they are usually incomplete and crappy quality. The cover used on these reprints has nothing to do with Oldsmobile.
